2015 DODGE DURANGO Electrical System Problems

**Subject:** Request for Investigation – Dodge Durango Taillight Water Intrusion and Safety Hazard To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally request that the National Highway Transportation Administration (NHTSA) investigate a widespread and potentially dangerous manufacturing flaw affecting Dodge Durango vehicles. Both my vehicle and a significant number of other Dodge Durango owners have experienced a recurring issue where water enters the taillight assembly. This intrusion causes the taillights to malfunction, resulting in the lights going out unexpectedly. This defect not only compromises vehicle safety by reducing visibility and signaling capability, but also poses a risk of further electrical damage. In some cases, owners have reported concerns about potential electrical failures and even fire hazards due to water exposure within the taillight housing. Given the prevalence of this issue among Dodge Durango owners, I strongly urge the NHTSA to conduct a thorough investigation and require the manufacturer to...

My Durango was sitting for 2days and caught on fire.Started in the rear back of the truck on the passenger side. Fire Dept said it was Electrical and 10,000 dollars of damage.

When driving home from work the car started malfunctioning wrong , accelerating by itself and I started to smell smoke when I pulled over to the side I started smelling smoke as soon I exited the vehicle it started flaming. Everything in my vehicle was burnt the fire department came and stated I should look up any recalls they said it was electrical. I bought the vehicle 30 days ago , dealership will not help neither the loan company I'm stuck with a vehicle who was sold with electrical problems almost to my life.

The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the contact returned to the vehicle to retrieve a work bag from the trunk. The contact noticed that there was smoke inside the vehicle, and flames were coming from underneath the front passenger's side seat. The contact was able to extinguish the fire with his breath, hand, and a cloth; however, the smoke persisted. The fire department was contacted and arrived at the scene. The fire department confirmed that the fire originated from the battery. No police report or fire department report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an autobody repair shop by the insurance company for an estimate of the repair. The contact sustained smoke inhalation but had not yet received medical assistance. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The...

The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the inadvertently lost motive power. The contact was able to pull to the shoulder of the roadway; however, the vehicle failed to restart. After a visual inspection of the engine compartment the contact observed that the F70 Fuel Pump fuse was blown. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who diagnosed failures with the fuel pump and fuel pump auxiliary power relay. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V115000 (Electrical System); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Im again reporting the racetrack tail lights. Im seeing a lot more water intrusion in dodge durangos of many years. We want answers! This needs to be investigated stat! Consumers should not have to pay $1800 for failure on dodges part! They know this is an issue with many years of these durangos. There is already a class action lawsuit against them for this issue. Please investigate this! We want answers....

My system keeps saying my seat needs Serviced for airbag system. Something electric is burning and something is happening with my radio system. It keeps changing to different stations or settings while music is playing

I have a 2015 but on all Durangos with the reat racetrack brake lighting, 2014 and newer dodge durango's, this product is fully defective on all. The brake lights and running lights go out and stop working on this style lighting and also obtain moisture. First you start losing some of the lighting on the track lighting as in brake light's until it fully goes out. This product needs to be recalled and replaced

The rear led license plates light obtain moisture corroding the electrical as do the racetrack rear light and go out. I have replaced the 2 rear license plat light assemblies and have gone again again causing myself to receive a traffic citation and attorney fee's due to this defect that thousands of other people are filing complaints about. All of the rear body lighting needs to be recalled and reimbursed for these expenses. The license plate led light(2) are not cheap from the dealer. I have also now received a traffic citation for the brake lighting not properly working on the race track lighting so I will be filing this as a legal matter with the courts to be reimbursed A police report was done as I was ticketed for both on 2 different occasions.

The rear race track light is not working completely and also the license plate lights are corroded and not working. Needs replacement.

The license plate light bulbs keep burning out caused by moisture/ wetness in the connectors due to poor design of rear lights.

The rear LED license plate lights are corroded and need replacing. One does not work.

Head rest on driver side with air bag started coming apart for no reason. I don’t see a recall Also, water keeps poking into rear tail light. No matter how many times I’ve drained it. I’ve heard this issue is called vehicle fires due to water getting into the electrical. I don’t want my vehicle to catch on fire with me or my grandkids inside. There is zero recalls and thousands of complaint regarding this issue. Dodge really need to do something about this before someone loses their life

Sections of LED brake light/race track light has stopped working due to water intrusion in rear panel. Back panel is not secured properly, allowing water to enter, corrode the harness and lights to fail. Due to this, the license plate harness & connectors are corroded as well. Replacing the tag lights will not fix the problem, you must replace the whole wiring harness for it to work again. The wiring harness is sold as one piece now by manufacturer due to this KNOWN issue, costing $600-$1000 to purchase and install. Manufacturer has stopped selling just the plate light plugs because they know the common issue with water damage, light failure and corrosion. The license plate lights are required by law to be working. Owners cannot continue replacing every year due to the manufacturers inadequate design. This impacts drivers with safety and on a legal level from law enforcement. There were...

Right headlight fuse will blow, then the blower motor for the front A/C goes out. Replaced in 2023, happened again in 2024

The rear 'race track' tail lights fail to light or are dim in lower sections of the assembly installed on the rear tailgate. Water enters the assembly over time and collects in the lower sections of the assembly causing the installed LED's and circuitry in those sections to fail. This repair is not covered by the extended warranty and would cost drivers approx 800 to install a replacement which would also leak.

fuel pump relay is failing to work from time to time

The contact's daughter owns a 2015 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that the middle rear taillight, known as the racetrack light, frequently burned out due to moisture entering the brake light housing. The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer where the light had been replaced; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was no longer covered under warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

Water has collect in race strip light, since then I’ve been experiencing electrical problems with the car.

Water in tail lights. (Race track lighting) Yes, water in race track burns out rear lights causing a hazard for vehicles following not able to notice the vehicle in front. Replaced multiple times. Same outcome. (Water leakage) lights burnt out. It’s been inspected by dealership and ASC certified mechanics. No warning when the race track lights go out. Only way to notice is when you start to see water build up in the race track lighting.

The Blinker arm at the steering wheel has broken internally to where its useless taking my high beams, turn signals, wipers and everything else they put on it to not function properly. When I asked the dealership for a repair quote I was told the part is on back order due to high demand. When I looked at third party dealers the same issues no one has this part. I could see if this was a older car but if their blinker arm is breaking so much they can't keep a part in stock or tell you when it van be available should a safety concern. Also their design makes the blinker arm replacement 850 for part and 600 for labor. This shows poor design and poor craftsmanship in their parts

Liftgate tail light leaking and holding water causing light failure and electrical shorts. Which cause visibility for other drivers to not see your back end at night.

The center track light (brake light) is defective; it collects water from the rain or melted snow and has shorted out parts of the light. The shorted area does not light up when braking. With parts of the track light blacked out by the short, it is not as effective in letting drivers behind me know when I am braking. Initially, the shorted light was a small corner of the light, which is not several inches. With the blackened area of the light growing as I an unable to stop the water from seeping in, it creates a safety concern for a vehicle of this size, especially when driving in a the highway. A Dodge dealer/mechanic shop in DeKalb, IL recognized the problem and said it was very common, but was not covered under the warranty. There were no warnings prior to the failure.

2015 Doge Durango, front passenger seat headrest malfunction "Active Head Restraint" and deployed while not in an accident. Headrest is available for inspection if requested. This occurred while the vehicle was being operated and caused a violent distraction. This could cause an accident as a result which would affect all in the vehicle. Additionally a direct impact/blow to the head from this defective headrest could lead to a head injury and/or cause an accident to occur. This has been reproduced in the same way by numerous consumers and third parties. Currently the defective headrest in question has not been inspected but communication with the manufacturer in progress. In regards to warning signs prior to the malfunction. There were no visible and/or audible signs this was about to occur. The headrest has received normal use which is very minimum. Research about this issue has shown this issue is documented and is...

DODGE "RACETRACK LIGHTING" HAS CRACKS AT UPPER LEFT AND UPPER RIGHT CORNERS. CAUSING WATER TO ENTER HOUSING AND SHORT OUT A SECTION OF LIGHTS. THANKFULLY IT HAS NOT CAUGHT FIRE. I SEE THE SAME SECTION OF LIGHTS OUT ON OTHER DODGE DURANGOS. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE "CRACK" WAS CAUSED BY ME AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT AND THE COST WOULD COME OUT OF MY POCKET. WHEN INSPECTED THE CRACKS ARE UNIFORM IN SHAPE AND SIZE.

WATER GETS IN THE BACK TRACK LIGHT WHICH IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE DODGE TRACK LIGHTS . MY TRACK LIGHT COMPLETELY SHORTED OUT INCLUDING MY LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS . DODGE KNOWS OF THIS DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD HAVE TO COVER THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT WHICH IS $1000 PLUS LABOR . TOTALLY RIDICULOUS AND A OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD

MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL WENT OUT, SO I REPLACED BOTH MY LEFT AND RIGHT TURN SIGNALS. MY VEHICLE NOW REGISTERS THAT MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL IS OUT CONSTANTLY, EVEN THOUGH IT IS OPERATING PROPERLY AND MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL DOES THE SAME PERIODICALLY. SINCE MY PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE, I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE NAVIGATION NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE RADIO DISPLAY ITSELF HAS A MIND OF IT'S OWN, THIS IS HOW YOU OPERATE MOST OF THE VEHICLES CLIMATE FUNCTIONS, BACK UP CAMERA, NAVIGATION AND RADIO. WHEN THE VEHICLE COMES ON, IT IS SUPPOSED TO TURN ON. HOWEVER MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, IT CHOOSES TO BE OFF, AND I HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO DECIDE TO TURN ON. IF I DO NOT HAVE THE A/C KNOW TURNED OFF WHEN IT DOES THIS, BOTH MY FRONT AND REAR DEFROSTERS WILL TURN ON FULL BLAST UNTIL THE DISPLAY CHOOSES TO OPERATE...

ATTACHED TO THE TRACK LIGHT (REAR BACK UP CAMERA AND LICENSE PLATE LIGHT. I'M NOT ABLE TO TRAVEL FREELY AFTER 7:30 PM DUE TO NO LICENSE PLATE LIGHT AND CONSTANT FLICKERING ON/OFF TRACK LIGHT. DOZENS OF YOUTUBE VIDEOS AND DIFFERENT INTERNET BLOGS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUES. CHRYSLER DODGE IS VERY AWARE OF THESE ISSUES BUT REFUSE TO RECALL THE LIGHTS. $1,000.00-$1,200.00 REPLACEMENT COST FROM DEALERSHIPS. USED WITH SOME DAMAGE ON LINE SIGHTS $600.00-$850.00. ISSUES CAUSED BY WATER/MOISTURE DRIPPING INTO THE CHEAPLY MADE DESIGN WITH NO SEAL GASKETS. RECALL PLEASE!

THE FUEL RELAY FAILED AND HAD TO REPLACE THETIMP THE FUEL PUMP ALSO FAILED TWICE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLED/DIED, THOUGH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/ELECTRONICS STAYED ON. I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE, BUT THE ENGINE WOULDN'T TURN OVER. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CYCLED THROUGH RANDOM ERROR MESSAGES "VEHICLE PHONE REQUIRES SERVICE, SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM, OIL PRESSURE LOW, SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL". DODGE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE, AND SENT ME HOME. ON 4/4/2020, AND 6/626/2020 THE ENGINE WOULDN'T TURN OVER DESPITE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TURNING ON. ON 4/15/2020 THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE BATTERY WAS DEFECTIVE AND CHARGED ME TO REPLACE IT, BUT THE ISSUE IS STILL NOT RESOLVED. ON 5/1/2020 THE TRUNK RANDOMLY OPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS OFF AND IN MY DRIVEWAY, IT WAS RAINING. ON 5/27/2020, WHILE DRIVING IN A STORM, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SAID "SERVICE ELECTRONIC BRAKES, BRAKE FLUID LOW" AND THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND OFF. THE ERRORS NEVER SHOWED UP AGAIN AFTER THE VEHICLE DRIED...

WATER IS POOLING IN RACETRACK TAIL LIGHT WHEN IT RAINS.

MY REAL RACETRACK LIGHT SHUT DOWN BECAUSE OF THE WATER INSIDE OF IT. *TR

AFRTER 2 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP WITH 73000 MILES ON IT THIS SUV ITS TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING THIS IS THE 5TH TIME IT HAPPENDS WHILE IS OFF WIPERS MOVE BY IT SELFS DOORS AND ALARM OPEN AND CLOSES JUST LIKE ITS HAUNTED TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY NITHING WRONG WITH IT IM AFRAID FOR MY LIFE AND MY KIDS I HAVE READ AND SEEN A LOT A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THUS ISSUE AND DODGE HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT !! WHILE DRIVING THIS DEAD TRAP

DODGE DURANGO WATER IN TAILLIGHTS CAUSES WATERLOG IN THE LED LIGHTING AREA AND NOT DRAINING LED OUT ON THE LEFT SIDE OF VEHICLE. REPLACING ITEM COST AROUND $1085.00 AND UP MANUFACTURING DESIGN DEFECT. VEHICLE HAS 31954 MILES ON IT.

I HAVE ALREADY WENT THROUGH 3 REAR TRACKLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE (IT IS THE LARGE TAILLAP ON THE BACK OF THE CAR) THE MOST RECENT PHOTO SHOWS A LOT OF WATER IN IT.

2015 DURANGO RT/AWD - WATER POOLS IN THE CENTER TAIL LAMP LED AND SHORTS IT OUT, MAKING NOT ONLY THE "RACE TRACK" PORTION OF THE LED LIGHTING FAIL, BUT THE TAG LIGHTING ALSO, TICKET ISSUED FROM HIGHWAY PATROL. REPLACEMENT MODULE IS $700+ THIS IS A WELL KNOW AND COMMON OCCURRENCE

THE REAR DECK LID TAIL LIGHTS FILL WITH WATER EVENTUALLY SHORTING OUT THE LIGHTS AND IMPACTING THE ABILITY FOR OTHER DRIVERS TO SEE THE VEHICLE FROM THE REAR. OVER TIME THIS MAY LEAD TO OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AS IT IS NEVER GOOD TO HAVE WATER ACCUMULATING IN THE TAIL LIGHTS. THE BACKUP CAMERA IS ALSO SHARED IN THIS COMPONENT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE THAT FCA DODGE APPEARS TO BE IGNORING. THE ONLY SOLUTION OFFERED IS TO REPLACE THE COMPONENT WITH ANOTHER WHICH INCLUDES THE BACKUP CAMERA FOR $1000.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITHOUT WARNING MULTIPLE ERROR MESSAGES WERE DISPLAYED FOLLOWED BY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SHUTTING OFF COMPLETELY. WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED WITHOUT COMMAND. TURN SIGNALS AND LIGHTS WOULD NOT WORK. FUNCTIONS SLOWLY STARTED TO RETURN HOWEVER TRACTION CONTROL REMAINED DISABLED.

THE LIFTGATE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY ALLOWS WATER TO SEEP INSIDE, POOLING IN THE LIGHTING ASSEMBLY. THIS LED TO THE REAR LIGHTS SHORTING OUT AND FAILING COMPLETELY. AFTER RESEARCHING, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT DODGE CONTINUES TO IGNORE; ONLY OFFERING TO INSTALL A NEW ASSEMBLY FOR THE BARGAIN PRICE OF $1200-1600 SO THAT I WILL BE VISIBLE FROM THE REAR TO OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROADWAY.

THE TAILGATE LIGHT GETS FILLED UP WITH WATER CREATING A SHORT AND BURNING OUR LED LIGHTS IN THE TAIL LIGHT. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIP CHARGES OVER $1000 FOR THE LIGHT AND THE TIME SPEND REPLACING IT. FCU SHOULD PAY FOR THE FAULTY DESIGN AND REPLACE ALL THE TAILGATE LIGHTS FOR FREE.

ON THIRD GENERATION DODGE DURANGO'S (2014-2020), WATER AND MOISTURE CAN GET INSIDE THE RACETRACK LIGHT ON THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, CAUSING THE LIGHT TO STOP WORKING IN MULTIPLE PLACES, AND IN COLDER CLIMATE, CAN CAUSE THE MOISTURE TO FREEZE AND THE LIGHT TO CRACK. WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING AT NIGHT, THE RACETRACK LIGHT IS THE ONLY LIGHT THAT IS CONSTANTLY ON. WITH WATER AND MOISTURE CAUSING THE LIGHT TO DISCONTINUE OPERATION, AS WELL CAUSE OTHER ELECTRICAL/LIGHTING ISSUES, IT COULD BECOME A VERY SERIOUS DRIVING HAZARD. WATER IS CURRENTLY INSIDE THE LIGHT ON MY VEHICLE, AND FROZEN SOLID, CAUSING THE LIGHT TO MALFUNCTION. ATTACHED PICTURE WILL SHOW EVIDENCE. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN LIGHT STARTED MALFUNCTIONING. VEHICLE HAD NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT. LIGHT HAS NEVER BEEN REMOVED FROM VEHICLE.

REAR TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLY ON THE DODGE DURANGO HAS SERIOUS ISSUES AT A COSTLY PRICE. THE LEFT SIDE OF OUR TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS COLLECTED WATER AND HAS SHORT CIRCUITED THE LOWER LEFT PORTION OF THE LIGHTING. YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE WATER POOLED UP IN THE LENS. I HAVE TWO NEIGHBORS THAT HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE RECENTLY. ANOTHER NEIGHBOR WAS TOLD HE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY ($1K+) JUST BECAUSE HIS LEFT LICENSE PLATE LIGHT HAS GONE OUT. I GUESS IT IS POWERED FROM THE TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLY WIRING HARNESS. I HAVE ACTUALLY REPLACED THAT LEFT REAR LICENSE PLATE LIGHT 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 18 MONTHS. NOT CHEAP IS $50 EACH.

WATER GOT INTO THE LED HOUSING ON THE TAILGATE AND ALL LIGHTS ON TAILGATE THEN WENT OUT CAUSING AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR I NOW NEED. I WENT TO MILFORD (PA) DODGE DEALERSHIP WHEN I FIRST NOTICED WATER POOLING IN THE LIGHT. ( NOT EVEN 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE) AND THEY TOLD ME THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX IT. AND THE CPO THEY GAVE ME WON'T COVER THE REPAIR. THIS VEHICLE HAD 18K ON IT WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THE WATER!!! THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IT IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT WITH THESE TRUCKS AND DODGE IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT! NEARLY EVERY DURANGO I SEE HAS AN LED OUT DUE TO THIS.

WATER IS COLLECTING IN LIFTGATE TAIL LIGHT FROM BAD SEALS. I'VE READ FORUMS OF SMELLING SMOKE OR BURNING WIRES FROM BACK OF VEHICLE. AFRAID OF THAT HAPPENING SO I DECIDED TO REMOVED 4 BOLTS TO LET WATER DRAIN AND NOW THE TAIL LIGHT DOESN'T WORK. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND DODGE/CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT IT AND REFUSES TO WORK WITH US OWNERS.

REAR HATCH LIGHT FILLS WITH WATER AND THE LIGHT STOPS WORKING. ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE VERY EXPENSIVE LIGHT ASSEMBLY. SAFETY ISSUE AS REAR LIGHT STOPS FUNCTIONING.

THE LED BACK TAIL LIGHTS ARE NOT PROPERLY SEALED, SO WATER CAN LEAK INTO THEM AND SHORT OUT THE LIGHTS, AND CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE.HAVE TRIED TO WORK WITH THE DEALERSHIP, AND THE CHRYSLER CORP., BUT SINCE THE VEHICLE IS A 2015 MODEL IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I FEEL THIS WAS A BAD SEAL RIGHT OUT OF THE FACTORY.

THE "RACETRACK" TAILLIGHT SYSTEM HAS A SYSTEMIC ISSUE WITH WATER INFILTRATING THE ENCLOSED SEALED LED TAILLIGHT SYSTEM. THIS CAUSED PORTIONS OF THE TAILLIGHTS TO BURN OUT AND CAUSE LOWER VISIBILITY THAN INTENDED. WARRANTY COMPANIES CONSIDER THIS A "SERVICEABLE" PART LIKE NORMAL BULBS, BRAKES, TIRES, ETC. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THIS "SERVICEABLE" PART IS AN ALL ENCLOSED UNIT AND NOT A SIMPLE BULB REPLACEMENT. YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE PANEL AT A COST OF NEARLY $1000!!! OR JUST DRIVE WITH THE LIMITED SAFETY OF A FULLY FUNCTIONING TAILLIGHT SYSTEM. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE AND ONCE ONE SECTION GOES OUT THE REST USUALLY FOLLOW. THIS DESIGN FLAW SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A SERVICEABLE PART AND FC SHOULD BE MADE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM AND FIX THIS ISSUE AT THEIR EXPENSE.

CAR WILL TRY TO START BUT WON'T TURN ALL THE WAY OVER. IT DOES IT INTERMITTENTLY. I'VE TAKEN IT TO MARK DODGE AND 2 OTHER AUTO SHOPS AND NO ONE CAN FIND THE ISSUE. IT HAS DONE IT OVER 15 TIMES NOW

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V461000 (EQUIPMENT) REGARDING A POSSIBLE SAFETY BREACH WITH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DROVE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO HAVE THE COMPUTER SYSTEM UPDATED. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH IN A RAIN STORM, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BEGAN TO OPERATE FRANTICALLY AND THE HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF ON THEIR OWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THIS WAS AN UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE AND ADVISED HER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO LAUREL VALLEY MOTORS (3656 STATE ROUTE 30, LATROBE, PA 15650, 724-539-5500). THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC AND FOUND NO FAILURES. SINCE THE DIAGNOSTIC, THE CONTACT STATED THAT VARIOUS ELECTRICAL FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED WITH THE VEHICLE. ON ONE OCCASION, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE STARTED ON ITS OWN WHILE IN THE GARAGE AND...

FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW, THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND SECTION OF THE LED 'RACETRACK' TAIL LIGHTS ON THE TRUNK OF MY DURANGO HAS BEEN BURNED OUT. APPARENTLY, THIS IS COMING FROM WATER FILLING UP IN THE LEDS DUE TO WEATHER STRIPPING TO KEEP WATER OUT FAILING TOO EARLY. THIS NORMALLY WOULDN'T BE A HUGE CONCERN SINCE TAIL LIGHTS CAN BE REPLACED, HOWEVER CHRYSLER/DODGE/FIAT HAS MADE IT ENTIRELY TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ANYONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND TO EVEN TRY TO AFFORD A REPLACEMENT. THE LEDS CANNOT BE EASILY REPLACED, THEREFORE YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TAIL LIGHT/BRAKE LIGHT PORTION ON THE TRUNK. ON TOP OF THAT, THIS PART MUST COME WITH THE BACK UP CAMERA, YOU CAN'T BUY THE PART WITHOUT THE BACK UP CAMERA. THE COST FOR THIS IS 1,085 USD WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY ABSURD, AND THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE COST OF LABOR AS WELL. THE BRAKE LIGHTS...
